Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cooking spray
  • Dipping sauce of choice

Instructions

  1. Prep the onion: Start by cutting the top off the onion and peeling away the outer skin. Make deep cuts downwards in a petal shape, careful not to cut through the bottom.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Prepare egg mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
  4. Coating time: Dip the onion first in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
  5. Air fry it: Place the prepared onion in your air fryer basket and spritz it with cooking spray. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve it up: Carefully remove the onion and serve it with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Make sure the onion is dry before coating and avoid overcrowding in the air fryer for best results.
